Saving The Ones You Love

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

            The drive into town was hilarious. We had the top down the music blaring and my license plate was HOTSTUF, which meant that everyone stared at us and we just laughed at them. If only they knew we could kill them 353 ways with our bare hands. When we to in town I parked across the street from the pharmacy just to piss off Josh. So Zach got out and opened my door for me and spun me around a few times and then gave me a kiss. I locked my car and we proceeded to walk hand in hand to all the stores and shop. By lunch time we again stopped at my car to drop off all my bags of stuff. We walked to a café a couple of stores down form the pharmacy.

            They entire place look up and stop talking when Zach and I walked into the room. I knew even before we decide to go here that there was a possible that Josh would be there. I honestly did not even like him the slightest any more, so making him jealous was looking really good right now. We saw Josh and Dee-Dee in the back corner staring at Zach and myself. We ended up getting a table near them. Zach and I order but as soon as the waiter leaves with our order my cell phone starts to ring with Macey’s personal ring tone which happens to be California Girl.

            “Hey Mc Henry what’s up with the soon to be vice presidents favorite daughter?” I asked jokingly knowing that Josh and Dee Dee were listening to everything I said.

            “Nothing much but I heard from Bex who heard from Liz who spoke with your mom that you are with Zach right now.” She told me.

            “Don’t you mean you’re spying on me and you’re really outside with Bex and Liz as well as Grant and Jonas?” I told her.

            “Of coarse were here Cammie!” I heard Macey screech.

            “Cammie!” Bex and Liz scream along with Macey. Then start running over to where were sitting.

            “Hey Cammie miss us.” Grant and Jonas said at the same time.

            “Hmm let me think about that Grant. Possibly depending on whether or not you and Bex are finally dating and Jonas what about you and Liz?” I tell them.

            “Well about that. We kind of already are dating them so that doesn’t apply.” Grant said.

            “You have got to be kidding me! Why am I hearing it from you idiots not my best friends in the entire world?” I asked with fake sadness in my voice.

            “It would help if you were talking with us first then that would have been the first things out of our mouths.” Bex told me with a smile.

            “Okay good for you guys but who wants to meet my boyfriend from Blackthorn?” Macey asks.

            “Wait a minute. Since when did you actually find a guy that can keep up with you let alone one from Blackthorn?” Bex said.

            “Well you know Preston the soon to be President’s only son. Well he goes to Blackthorn and I met him at one of the dinners our fathers had. Actually he should be here any second. And there he is.” Macey said as her boyfriend walks in looking like he’s a Hollister model.

            “Macey please tell me I am totally dreaming or are you dating a guy that can put up and can look like he walked out of a models magazine at the same time is beyond me.” I told her.

            “Hey I resent that.” She exclaimed.

            “Hey kitten sorry I am late my plane go in late. Hey Zach, Grant, Jonas what are you guys doing here?” Preston asks.

            “Well I am here to keep my Gallagher girl company all summer since her mom is headmistress and doesn’t want her going to far this summer. So I volunteered to stay. Plus it gives us a chance to actually get alone time with no homework and very few teachers around to bug us, it’s perfect.” Zach said.

            “Wait you get to stay the rest of the summer. My mom didn’t tell me that. She just said that you were going to keep me company while I shop today!” I exclaimed to Zach.

            “Surprise!” He told me.

            “Guess what it turns out Jonas will be going back with me since he is moving in across the street with his parents into their summer home!” Liz exclaimed.

            “Well I didn’t know tell an hour ago that Grant is moving right next door to me in London so well be together all summer too!” Bex exclaimed in her British accent.

            “Well Preston and I will be on the campaign trail all summer with our dads so we will be on the cover of every magazine known in the U.S.A. by tomorrow at the latest.” Macey said.

            We sat there eating, joking around, and had a ton of fun with our friends. But all too soon they had to leave. Zach and I walked them to their limo and said good bye for a while. Once we couldn’t see the limo any more Zach told me to close my eyes. He blind folded me and led me somewhere. When he told me I could take the blindfold off we were in the gazebo. Everywhere you looked there were flowers blooming in the most beautiful colors ever anyone has ever seen.

            “Cammie you mean the world too me. No one can ever try to separate us and if they do they will have to go through me. Gallagher girl I love you with all my heart.” Zach said while handing me a bouquet of white tulips.

            “Zach this is amazing. But blackthorn boy don’t sell your self short. You’re the only one for me. I love you too.” And with that he kissed me. A simple kiss turned into a not so minor make out session. Our tongs fought for dominance and in the end his one. His tong explored my mouth. After fifteen minutes and thirty-six seconds we reluctantly broke apart. We walked hand in hand to my car where I let him drive us back. We were half way there when we noticed a car following us. We would have called it a tail if it wasn’t Josh and Dee-Dee. So we just sped up. When we got to the gates I flashed my id card into the machine used only during the summer and in we were. I had texted my mom so the entire school the second we came in the front door went into code black just in case. I rushed Zach to a secret room that only I knew about and told my mom we were hiding until it was safe again. She just shooed us off while she was looking at all the security cameras.  

            We picked up where we left off on the terrace. We spent a couple of hours exploring each others mouths on a couch in the secret room. By the time we came out for dinner that night the code black was gone. While walking to diner in my mom’s office Zach and I talked about anything and everything. What foods we like, hobbies besides being a spy. My mom decided to try and make chicken nuggets which didn’t come out so great. Then at the end of dinner after a store bought apple pie Mr. Solomon comes strolling in like he can walk in when ever he wants.

            “Oh good your back Joe, what did you find out on our town stalkers who followed Zach and Cammie from town today?” My mom asked.

            “Well it seems that they tried to get in to get to Cammie. But after watching them the rest of the day they just wanted the dirt on Zach and Cammie on what they were doing. So it seems relatively safe.” Joe Solomon said.

            “So I can go back to town tomorrow and annoy them by always being with Zach?” I asked.

            “Sure do you mind if Solomon and myself come just to ensure you’re safe for just then. Besides I love to go shopping with you tomorrow Cammie.” My mom said.

            “Sure I am going to go to bed it has been a long day.” I tell them.

            “I will walk you to your dorm room.” Zach said.

            He did indeed walk with me to my room but before he left we had a mini make out session outside my door. After six and a half minutes we broke apart and said good night. I walked into my room, got ready for bed and fell asleep thinking about Zach.
